Apologies all for my disappearance this weekend, a bout of illness and this strange thing in England called a “sun”(?) made for an uncomfortable few days.
Here’s a bonus as an apology:
___________________________________________
It was cramped but functional, and the party’s mounts were left trussed up in line along the cave wall. With a few orders to those hirelings staying behind, the group sets off deeper into the cave, led by keen halforc eyes. Wide enough that two could walk shoulder to shoulder and still have enough room to swing a blade, it was easy going for now, a steady incline snaking back and forth into the darkness.
Soon enough, even the least aware can taste the moisture in the air. This was the biggest clue they had that this particular cave led somewhere of note, and during a short pitstop, Embrek announced that so long as senility wasn’t setting in, the path had twisted back upon itself. They were now heading east, and so long as no further diversion occured, it wouldn’t be long before they were under the city.
The party continues walking, and not long after this Urman feels a tingle of magic, not unlike a spell landing near him. Intincts lead to a cry, and weapons are drawn and spells readied. After some moments of staring into the dark, waiting for an attack that is not coming, they lower their weapons.
Urman searches his personage for the source of the magic, and pulls out the messenger ring. It now tingles with fresh energy, and the wizard examines its surface for a reply to his earlier question and is rewarded.
“Too late. Alone. Trapped under.”
SESSION 201 – May 1, 2018
Lambertus removes the curse so Rallion can remove the gauntlets, allowing him to use a weapon. Rallion puts them in his pack, just in case they are needed for the strength.
We investigate long-term storage and there is a time-field guarding each drawer. We get details and view the items taken off Lysander. Some look fancier than others. A gold key is needed to gain access. It is decided to finish searching the entire place, and then to go up.
We shut the door to block the room with a single automaton stomping an infected. We take out the automaton constantly shooting the other infected. Lambertus cures disease on the infected so we don’t have to worry about it. We find an observation room and more rooms, but alas, no gold key.
We search the other sub, and it has two dead occupants, and no keys or other useful items. Its hull was breached and floods the lower portion of the access shaft.
Having explored all we can, we take the elevator up, and the alarm is sounding. There are three doors. The first two we cannot open, the one we can open has two automatons who manage to shoot us up until we slowly take down each one.
Now to find a way past the other doors. We know that one wall is a one-way mirror from which we may be observed.
Bookkeeping Notes, Session 201 (5/2/18):
– We will continue at 2:45PM on the 6th of Nonrilden with the party having just fought some automata after ascending a lift to a new area several hundred feet above the Lysander Research Station.

SESSION 39 April 29, 2018
We find a cave to keep the horses and party, the rhinos stay outside.
Otoben and Batukhan scount and find a cave to the west of the city that may be a likely place to enter past the “blue light”.
That night 3 strange creatures attempt to sneak attack us in the first cave we made camp, and cast darkness, but we overcome it with light. Zho Ni casts hold person and two fall to their deaths, and the other Otiben brings down. We do not speak its language. We keep it alive in case we can’t track it back to where it came from.
We track it the next day and find various underground passages and crevasses and drops. One large cave held the lair, and we took out 12 of them with no losses and minimal spell use.
We make it back to our camp in the cave as night falls.
We heal up and spend an uneventful night.
The next day, we move everyone and all the horses and rhinos to the cave Otiben and Batukhan found before the night these creatures attacked us.
We make ready to see if it leads into the city….
SESSION 38 – April 22, 2018
We reach the Frost Leaf clan redoubt. The son of the chief took many of their warriors even though the old chief did not believe the false promises of the ogres.
They agree to send a scout (Ranger) with us to help us follow them.
Their warrior rite of passage is to slay a juvenile troll. Their last youth to attempt it was slain.
Our guide is none other than the chief’s daughter, Ygritte.
We come to the valley of mists and find a place to shelter overnight.
The next day, our scouts find the villagers tied to these enormous pillars and many ogres, woolly rhinos, and goblins in a camp.
Our plan is to get them to chase us and fight on ground of our own choosing.
About a third of the ogres/rhinos, each with a golblin archer take the bait. We quickly take care of them with a well-place stinking cloud by Urman.
Once the battle finishes, the Seer’s voice booms out and a blue crackle of energy surrounds the pillars and the ancient city of the fabled orcs appears. Supposedly the blue barrier will prevent us from entering.
The villagers were not slaves for digging, but a sacrifice to power the pillars.
How do we get in? How do we take out the seer?
